Built in the 17th century, the residence was extended and altered into a French-chateau inspired residence a century later by Aberdeen’s first city architect, “Tudor Johnny” Smith for the Andersons, who lived there for 10 generations. In the 1920s the estate underwent further additions executed by the Aberdeen-based architects George Bennet Mitchell & Son and in 1955, after being badly damaged by fire, it was reconstructed in a modern manner, retaining, though, its traditional Scottish accents. In 1986 the Rodick family completely refurbished the building into a luxurious modern abode and purchased the adjacent walled garden and courtyard cottages in order to restore the original property.
